Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

[Drauden]

I was looking forward to this game, had it preordered and everything. I thought the first one was decent and just needed a little polish. Boy, was I disappointed. Two and a half level, five different enemies, a damn boring plot and Starkiller's a whiny *****. At least the graphics were good, and the Force is fun too play with.

Little off-topic, but what's the deal with the moderators and the first three posts in this thread? Are there any rules I am unaware of? Maybe I'm able to see why the second and third reply were banned, but the first?
Am I going to get banned for pointing this out?

Hehe. Yahtzee liked that game, too

Which is why i picked it up. i never played most of Yahtzee's favored games because most of 'em are on the PS2.

Funniest review yet! Would I be a horrible person if I admit that I pissed myself laughing after the "schindler's list easy bake oven" quote?

Ive played some online flash games that are better than this 5 hour game(DLC!!)

When will they learn to give all the rights to the Star Wars franchise to Bioware? They've done more for it in the past decade than Lucas Arts has done in the past 3 decades.

Wow, I was considering buying the 1st one at a 70% discount even knowing it's a hack&slash QTE orgy for the God of War fans, but I just save it for a Jedi Knight series pack. I gotta find one eventually.

 

[GEAR BOSS]

Thank you Yahtzee! I have been waiting for someone to come out and say what this game truly is; a pathetic cash in for Star Wars fanboys!

The first one was terribad, but playing this at a friends house I had a lot of fun on the first two levels. I get a kind of god complex if my character is op'd and I had fun massacuring everyone.

 

[repeating integers]

Wow... I didn't realise Yahtzee'd be cynical enough to only like 2 star wars movies.

I am an idiot.

Funny review though, and the game did sound mediocre from the Escapist review. And I wasn't planning on getting it anyway. But I agree with everyone else saying WHERE IS BATTLEFRONT III!?!?!

the Clone Wars cartoons (the ones made by the creators of Samurai Jack, not the all-CG ones)

Oh geez, now I know why I liked it so much. SAMURAI JACK IS THE BEST CARTOON MADE EVER! And everything they did turns to gold. Or something like that shiny.

I loved that cartoon; unfortunately so many people of my own generation missed it and it lacked lasting appeal.

I was under the impression that site policy means you have to have at least left enough time to have watched what you have commented on
OT. I will never consider anything in that universe that came out after I was born to be honestly good. except the first KOTOR

I still like Star Wars. It had meaning before the concept of the force was ruined by the prequels.

The original movies are good, the phantom menace is awful, there is two good fight scenes in attack of the clones, and the last prequel was decent...even though Hayden Christiansen is the worst actor of all time, I bet Ewan McGregor was facepalming himself to death in every scene he shared with that guy.

OT: I knew this game was going to be bad, let's just hope the MMO is good.

 

[remmus]

I´m more looking forward to SWTOR....yes a MMO with all the ups and downs is more attractive then this Xp

Man, Loved that the boot of stomping was a Burton snowboard boot... just seemed a little ironic.

Put me in the crew with the people who are wondering why the hell they haven't rebooted the X-Wing/Tie-Fighter franchise yet...

 

[daxterx2005]

Vomiting thru a pen, I agree with this 100%

Also, Yahtzee using the phrase "pro tip" made me chuckle.

 

[demonpeen]

i never liked star wars -- the series. i see the games as bad just because they're based off something i don't like. plus anytime you have a group of individuals that are just short of omnipotent, you've written yourself into a wall. the only place to go is omnipotent vs omnipotent, unless you work to prove they aren't.

 

[stormtrooper9091]

one sentence in and the man already said everything. I am now ashamed to be a Star Wars fan seeing what it has turned into...

 

[Schlagwerk]

New mic?

They posted before they finished watching the video. If you post within 6 minutes of the video's posting time, the mighty banhammer will swing. There's always two or three dolts who get put on probation or suspended on Yahtzee's videos.

 

[Vampire cat]

Zelda and Mario.

Forgive me for not agreeing, but the extent of Star Wars milking I still think goes far beyond anything Nintendo has managed (and that is indeed quite a feat!).

The biggest disappointment I've had in the world of videogames for quite some time. Good thing I got it cheap, else I'd really be pissed.
